A GOOD BUY AND WORK IN THE GREENHOUSE..AGAIN

Well I had all my seed trays ready and my packets of seeds but horrors, forgot the seed compost. So off we went to B & Q. Got into the garden section and it was like a ghost town…totally empty! So we wandered around looking at the plants..but nothing took my fancy and the cheapies were awful, guess the best ones had gone. (One of you lot had been here I suspect and bagged them all!)

Seeds

I had this voucher burning a hole in my pocket, so we moseyed around to the pots to see if there was anything going and lo! and behold! look what I found.
Voucher

Wall Pots

They were £5 each..only couple of pounds off, but that was a saving of £4, not to be sneezed at! I can see these on my garden wall in summer with trailing fuchsias or petunias, or even friolinas..those trailing violas..

My OH gently, but firmly steered the trolley back to the compost and we picked up a bag of JI No.1 Seeding and he purposefully marched towards the checkout. I did a quick detour to the paints (the hall wants painting) but I only had time to grab a few paint colour cards before being hauled out thro the exit (VERY undignified, as I told him..loudly).

It was too dark, wet and windy to do anything by then so I started this morning early because Im going out later.

You did snag a bargain with your wall pots, M. More seedlings to provide some TLC and get results :) Hope your time out today was enjoyable....we've lots of wind here today...trees really swaying! It will blow away all the cobwebs :)

i love those pots. should look very good empty or with the flowers ~ dont put them out today ~ it will be like 2 green bottles hanging on the wall......and if one green container should accidentally blow away there'll be...................... all the GoYers underneath waiting to catch it!

Just like you 'orrible lot to change my posh green pots into mundane green bottles LOL!...
Them's aquilegia Firecracker and Liatris, Littlelegs..opened the Liatris by mistake, trying to hold down packets in the wind whistling into greenhouse! Still whats done is done..we will see...also did some Rudbeckia Cherokee Sunset and the Lychnis Barbara sent me.
That wind nearly blew me down the steps J, grabbed the railings in time...(put those side railings in for me mum..I need them now!)
You dont need a car for work Annella, looking glam like that..just stand by the pavement looking forlorn..you will get more lifts than you can count!

Lovely pots, no matter what the colour, mind you nothing is staying put around here either, one good thing to come out of the windy conditions is the chinese lantern that wrapped itself in the top of my apple tree on new years eve, its now in shreds so I might be able to get rid of it at last.......

Annella, it surely was a compliment (but I can see why you asked LOL!), but be careful or you will turn into an old soak like Yorkie (but without the ear trumpet, you not that old!).
I know, I know, she's poorly in bed with her OH drinking cheap whisky (so she says), but I gotta make hay while she's not here to ban me from meetings!

Think its the "idol with clay feet" syndrome Sticki..Ive had two and neither have given me the life to which I would love to have been accustomed! Improved no end with No.2..but there's still a lot to be desired lol!

OH rarely says no DD, and I rarely ask for anything too outrageous. But I always know when he thinks Ive spent too much...his "Yes" becomes "mm Okay" and has a sort of strangled sound..Im sure you know it..sort of high pitched..
